Archive of Our Own (AO3) to start using Calibre for EPUB/MOBI/AZW3 downloads

ilovejedd · 02-10-2019, 01:12 AM

I just came across this announcement:

I tried their sample EPUB and it now contains series, comments and tags. Whoohoo! Their old engine only had title, author and publisher, and the MOBI output didn't even have proper TOC nor chapter breaks.

As someone who often downloads directly from AO3 to reader and rarely accesses desktop Calibre GUI (ergo FanFicFare), this is a very welcome development.

You might want to tell them that they dont need to install additional software for PDF output in calibre (I'm assuming they are referring to xvfb). This has not been needed for many years.
